Chapter 38: "Stigmata disease"

The assimilation of the stigma peusedo-herrscher of death becomes very smooth.

With the power of time that comes with her, and enough honkai energy. K-423 manages to get the peusedo-herrscher of death stigmata, and immediately gives her new stigmata to Patricia, and Salome, who is still in the imaginary space she made.

Exit the city of Novosibirsk using the power of time skip, and throw Patricia's body which has a tracer into one of the abandoned buildings. K-423 teleports once again, and she hurries to quickly return to the Siberian tundra.

According to the story, there will be 3 Seraphim daughters created by Sirin to destroy the human city.

Oulu Finland, princess of desire, pseudo-herrscher of wind, Avrora.

Astana Kazakhstan, princess of Haste, peusedo-herrscher of fire, Agata.

Novosibirsk Russia, princess of serenity, peusedo-herrscher of death, Galina.

The three of them are angels of disaster created by Sirin, and sent to different cities to exterminate the humans who are there.

She had already met Galina just now and assimilated the stigma belonging to her. K-423 has no intention of meeting the other two peusedo-herrschers.

The reason why she didn't want to meet them was because the distance between the three of them was too great. In addition, assimilating Peusedo-Herrscher of Death's stigma using the time skip ability almost made the honkai energy in her body nearly run out.

Otto must also have been watching the three of them using the satellite in the sky. In order to prevent being discovered by him, K-423 could only leave without looking back.

She must also hurry back to the Siberian tundra to approach Sirin, and put her next plan into action.

The time she had was really very limited.

Siberian Tundra, 16 February, 2000.

Night...

The sky above the Tundra was currently completely dark. Honkai energy surged, as if it was going to be the end of the world.

Hiding not far, 30 kilometers from the tower of Babylon. K-423 who was sitting in the warm car, closed her eyes quietly.

The honkai detector in her hand had been beeping non-stop since just now.

"BANG!!!"

It was as if judgment day had arrived. The honkai detector in her hand shattered, and the honkai energy in the surrounding area increased tremendously.

"Honkai eruptions..."

K-423 had hoped Sirin would do this. With the soaring honkai energy, all life in Siberia will die miserably.

Half a million Honkai beasts will also be born here, and attack every human population center that is near them.

Many villages and towns were destroyed by it. According to the original story, only 100 survivors managed to tell the story.

"Yeah, maybe there will be more survivors since I've already sent a lot of my modified stigma to them. It's the only thing I can do to ease their suffering."

"Siegfried and Cecilia will also be coming here tomorrow. I need to find their route, and follow one of them from behind to prevent getting hit by the carpet bombardment from Schicksal."

"After that, I will meet Sirin."

Absorbing the honkai energy around her greedily. K-423 closed her eyes, and she began to rest.

Tomorrow will be a very busy day.

Siberian Tundra, 17 February, 2000.

MISSION BRIEFING S-127.

COMMANDANT: Otto Apocalypse, Overseer.

The current situation...

{On February 16th a large scale honkai eruption event in Siberia was just detected. The honkai covered the entire ​​Siberian plains in 3 hours.}

{Even though the enemy forces of the 3 peusedo-herrschers were neutralized in the earlier operation, after the honkai eruption happened, there are still about half a million Honkai beasts roaming Siberia at this time.}

{With the increasing level of honkai in Siberia, satellite and radar scans become useless. We still can't find the whereabouts of the second herrscher.}

{For force deployment, our forces will be deployed into two formations in two places:

Formation N-1, located in the northern plains, consisted of 230 valkyries from the European branch, and was commanded by Siegfried Kaslana.

Formation S-1, located in the southern plains, consisted of 212 valkyries from the African and Oceanian branches, and was commanded by Cecilia Schariac.}

{Primary Directive, at exactly 08.00 on 17 February, The Siberian plains shall by subject to carpet bombing. This is expected to be able to neutralize 90% of the hostile forces.}

{Report completed.}

Siberia, 17 February, 2000.

2 hours before the carpet bombing was launched...

"Commander Cecilia, we found the survivors of the village! They've all fainted with the stigmata added to their bodies!"

"Again?"

Cecilia raised her eyebrows.

As well as exterminating the Honkai beasts, and constructing siege nets to trap them. The frontline team found many survivors, and they added one more function, which was to save these people and evacuate them to a safe place.

This was the third village they encountered while on their rescue route.

Either because the level of honkai in this area is too high or there are other factors. Many ordinary people did not die from coruption by the honkai energy, and instead they slept in their own homes very peacefully.

There is a Stigma appearing on the body of a person like this. Those with the exact same stigma pattern are usually very difficult to awaken.

It was as if they were all trapped inside their own dream.

To day, still no one with this stigma has awakened from their vegetative state, and the Schicksal doctors who treated them are even confused as to what exactly happened to them.

For now, for people who have stigmata appearing on their bodies, and can't get up. They call these people "Stigmata Disease."

"Get them into the convoy of vehicles, and continue the sweep along the route. For everyone caught in the honkai disaster, we must save them all!"

"Yes commander Cecilia!"

....

Slaying the Honkai beasts along the siege net, and saving a few more people. Cecilia saw a car parked under a tree trunk, and she immediately threw the Abyss Flower in her hand towards it.

"Wooshhh!!!"

Kills a giant Honkai beast that is very close to the car. Cecilia immediately rushed over there, and she knocked on the car window.

"Hey, are you okay in there? Don't worry, I'll get you out of there right now!"

Found that the car door is stuck. Cecilia exerted some strength in her hands, and the car door was immediately dented.

"BANG!"

Removing the car door with bare hands. Cecilia finally saw the person sitting in the driver's seat.

She looked at the ID card that was next to her.

"Larina Kaslana, Moscow branch A-rank valkyrie? Is she also one of the valkyries participating in the siege operation? Why is she in the car?"

Realizing that something is wrong with Larina's condition. Cecilia touched her body, and Larina, who closed her eyes like she was sleeping, fell forward.

Cecilia looked at the back of Larina's neck.

"It's true, there is an additional stigma on her body. She is also infected with stigmata disease."

Cecilia's eyes became pity.

Even an A-rank valkyrie couldn't escape this kind of stigmata. This news must be reported to Overseer Otto as soon as possible. He might be able to find a solution.

"Don't be afraid Larina, I am here. I will save you."

Carrying the fainted Larina onto her back. Cecilia picked up the Abyss Flower she threw just then, and she rushed towards the safe zone as fast as she could.

"Cecilia... I thought the pure maiden rumors were fake, but it turns out there's some truth to. Bringing suspicious people to headquarters, tch, you're very kind."

K-423 appears next to the wrecked car, and she smiles as she watches Cecilia carry 'Larina'' body away to a safe zone.

"The effects of Herrscher of Death's stigmata can't last long. I have to put in place the next plan as soon as possible before this energy body of mine dissipates completely."

"Jeez, I really lack honkai energy."

K-423 sighed helplessly.
